The largest disclosed Series A in this Turkey set is Spyke Games at $50M (2024-05-02), and it sets the top end of a band where most other disclosed rounds cluster between about $1M and $30M (e.g., Grand Games $30M on 2025-01-09; Bigger Games $25M on 2025-06-16; Agave Games $18M on 2024-12-17). Disclosed amounts also include a very small tail: Eyurtlar closed at $100K on 2021-03-17.
Across 15 rows, the geographic pattern is strongly Istanbul-leaning: 12 of the 15 entries list Istanbul variants (including Sisli, Kagithane, and “Istanbul, Turkey”), with the remaining cities being Ankara (Onlayer 2025-11-17; Servislet 2021-12-01) and Denizli (Tiplay studio 2021-12-06). Temporally, the entries span 2021-02-17 (Dream Games) through 2025-11-17 (Onlayer), with multiple game/app rounds concentrated in 2024–2025 (e.g., Spyke Games 2024-05-02; Agave Games 2024-12-17; Grand Games 2025-01-09; Bigger Games 2025-06-16).

Frequently asked
What stands out as the largest disclosed Series A in this Turkey list, and how sharp is the gap versus the rest?
Spyke Games disclosed $50M on 2024-05-02, which is above the next-largest disclosed rounds of $30M (Grand Games, 2025-01-09) and $25M (Bigger Games, 2025-06-16). Several other disclosed rounds sit below that band, including $18M (Agave Games, 2024-12-17) and $11M (Usersdot, 2023-11-02).
Are Istanbul-based companies over-represented compared with Ankara and other cities?
Yes. 12 of 15 rows list Istanbul in the location field (e.g., Spyke Games in Sisli on 2024-05-02; Eyurtlar in Kagithane on 2021-03-17), while the remaining locations are Ankara (Onlayer 2025-11-17; Servislet 2021-12-01) and Denizli (Tiplay studio 2021-12-06).
Which rounds fall near the top of the date range shown (most recent 90 days)?
From the latest date in the table, 2025-11-17 (Onlayer), the only row within the most recent 90 days is Bigger Games on 2025-06-16 at $25M, since Grand Games on 2025-01-09 ($30M) and earlier fall outside that window.
How often are amounts undisclosed, and does that affect identifying “largest” or “smallest” rounds?
2 of 15 rows list “undisclosed” amounts (Doktar Technologies on 2023-10-24; RODIN on 2023-05-26; Octovan on 2023-04-01 are also marked undisclosed), so comparisons rely on disclosed figures. Using only disclosed amounts, Eyurtlar at $100K (2021-03-17) is the smallest disclosed round, and Spyke Games at $50M (2024-05-02) is the largest disclosed round.
Do any sectors cluster repeatedly, especially around the 2024–2025 window?
Gaming and apps appear repeatedly in the 2024–2025 period: Spyke Games (Gaming) at $50M on 2024-05-02, Agave Games (Apps) at $18M on 2024-12-17, Grand Games (Apps) at $30M on 2025-01-09, and Bigger Games (Gaming) at $25M on 2025-06-16. Separately, FinTech/Finance and AI show up in high-frequency pairings such as Onlayer (FinTech/AI/Analytics) at $8M on 2025-11-17 and Usersdot (AI) at $11M on 2023-11-02.
